To arouse public awareness of the Aims of School Education, an information leaflet on Support the Aims of School Education had been distributed to all parents and students through schools.
Besides, a promotion package on the implementation of the aims was produced for loan to schools.
Up to last month, a total of 42 schools had made use of the package at school functions.
A video tape with the same contents of the promotion package was produced and distributed to all schools last month (October).
Members also noted that, a computer package, School Aims Implementation Folio (SAIF), to translate the aims into concrete and measurable terms for school use was produced in July.
The educational aims and indicators are re-organised under different domains and areas to suit the context of local schools.
Members also agreed that the long-term task of EAIS was to help create a culture of quality education in schools and the short-term task was to encourage development of qualitative performance indicators for different educational aims.

Successful candidates in the NGTQA examinations are eligible to teach in local primary schools.
